"Splendidly imagined . . .
Thrilling" --Simon Winchester
"A genuine
masterpiece" --Gary Shteyngart
Spellbinding,
moving--evoking a fascinating region on the other side of the world--this
suspenseful and haunting story announces the debut of a profoundly gifted
writer.
One August afternoon, on the
shoreline of the Kamchatka peninsula at the northeastern edge of Russia, two
girls--sisters, eight and eleven--go missing. In the ensuing weeks, then
months, the police investigation turns up nothing. Echoes of the disappearance
reverberate across a tightly woven community, with the fear and loss felt most
deeply among its women.
Taking us through a year in
Kamchatka, Disappearing Earth enters with astonishing emotional acuity the
worlds of a cast of richly drawn characters, all connected by the crime: a
witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother. We are transported to vistas of
rugged beauty--densely wooded forests, open expanses of tundra, soaring
volcanoes, and the glassy seas that border Japan and Alaska--and into a region
as complex as it is alluring, where social and ethnic tensions have long
simmered, and where outsiders are often the first to be accused.
In a story as propulsive as it
is emotionally engaging, and through a young writer's virtuosic feat of empathy
and imagination, this powerful novel brings us to a new understanding of the
intricate bonds of family and community, in a Russia unlike any we have seen
before.
